We are laughing at granpda falling asleep while skyping :)

Merry christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bet it was awesome! 

so my mom didn't write me this week because we are skyping in about 21/2 hours. (at least i think that's why). The things I opened up this week were.... super glue! I fixed my belt finally!  paper, now and laters, scissors, a new shirt, pringles, and a chip for my camera! everything that I could ever want:) 

so, some things that happened during my Christmas: on Thursday we had a mini party thing with 4 families from the church. It was really fun! they made a ridiculous amount of food and of course tons of left overs! We ate and talked for about 3 hours haha. It was really fun and felt a little like christmas. 

On Christmas eve we spent it in the house I will skype. We made 10 PIZZAS and had 6 liters of coke( which isn't that exciting) and had brownies! basically we were sooooo full. We spent the entire day there and watched the other side of heaven at night. The film about the missionary in Tonga. Christmas eve was awesome!

Then came christmas. I woke up at 630 and opened my presents. I think it is the earliest christmas I have ever had in my life. After we went to church and there were about 40 people there, whereas the usual is 120 hahaha. it was nice and quiet:) after that we had lunch and went to a house for dessert. (this is when mom will be mad at me) after that we had nothing so from 3 till we slept we had nothing to do hahaha. I watched 4 films, the restoration, the testaments, finding faith in Christ, and joy to the world. Let's just say that I found out the true meaning of Christmas! it doesn't seem that exciting to you guys but really I wouldn't trade it for a usual christmas. It was good to learn that christmas isn't all about gifts but really about Christ and what he did for us. By the way, I am not saying that I want to change our christmas! I am just saying that it is good for me to learn what a "humble" christmas is. :)

BUT the funniest thing that happened to me this week was when we were walking to lunch on christmas. This house is really long from the church and from our house about a 30min walk, and we walk next to a street that is really busy all the time. So this car is going about 50mph and pulls a u turn crazily and pulls up next to us. We were on the passengers side and the wife just looked at me really funny but the car continued to follow us. So we stopped and he pulled over all the way and said "hey my wife wants a photo with you!" I was like... what the heck is this guy doing. He risks his life to try and take a picture with me. I said alright and she came close to me and was super embarrassed and he took the picture. Yes, the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me because of my height. Really really weird haha. I didn't even know what to say hahahahahaha. oh well. that's all I have for this week. happy new years and I will talk to you guys next week! see you in a few hours family!!!!
